General Information

Used ink and toner cartridges may designate as hazardous waste depending on the formulation of the toner.  Whether or not the toner is hazardous, the best management option is to use up the toner and to have the cartridges refilled or recycled. Many office supply stores provide drop-off services for ink jet cartridges, and some recycling vendors provide credits or pay for empty cartridges.
